Aikido Eastside - Bellevue, Washington

Aikido Eastside offers daily classes for adults and children in the non-violent, non-competitive Japanese martial art of Aikido providing Mind, Body, Spirit integration as well as effective self defense. Aikido focuses on center to center connection and strives to allow one to defend without the necessity of seriously harming the attacker. The art developed in the mid 20th century as a gift to all mankind by Master Morihei Ueshiba, whom practitioners call "O Sensei" or revered teacher.

George Ledyard, 6th dan, Chief Instructor.

Aikido Heiwa - Lynnwood, Washington

AIKIDO is often called "The art of doing nothing" because of nearly effortless techniques that triumph over hard attacks. Through control of a partner's balance any attack can be rendered ineffective, without having to apply much force. At Aikido Heiwa - Martial Arts for Peace we teach the natural flowing, graceful movements of Aikido, as well as the art's explosive, self-defense oriented techniques. To enable the martial arts student to better understand a wide range of different attacks, we practice the strikes and throws from KarateDo and Judo, and the close combat skills of AikiJutsu and Chinese Wushu.

Aikido Northshore - Kirkland, Washington

Aikido is a non-violent, and non-competitive Japanese martial art which emphasizes blending, neutralizing, and controlling the force of an attack.

Students are taught to relax, focus energy, concentrate and move in harmony with a partner. Negative power from an attack is not met with conflict, but joined, interpreted, and redirected through the power of spiral movement. Because Aikido does not depend on physical strength, it is especially attractive to men and women of all ages.

Aikido improves physical conditioning, concentration, and mental clarity. It is a practical self-defense and helps develop balance and coordination.

Through Aikido training, the student finds the strength and confidence to control the conflicts that are faced everyday. As they refine their reaction to stress and pressure in the physical training, they can begin to refine their reaction to the stresses of life in their relationships with others.

Aikido of Flagstaff

Aikido of Livermore

At Aikido of Livermore - Shinrei Dojo, we train in both Aikido and Shinkendo. The chief instructor is Jim Alvarez Sensei . Alvarez Sensei holds an Aikido rank of Godan (5th Degree Black Belt) certified by the Aikikai Hombu Dojo Aikido World Headquarters in Japan, and the Shinkendo Rank of Chuden Renshi certified by the International Shinkendo Federation.

Shinrei Dojo is a member of Aikido Schools of Ueshiba (ASU), an international association of more than 70 affiliated dojos. Mitsugi Saotome Shihan serves as the supervisory instructor for these ASU dojos. Saotome Shihan began as a special apprentice with the founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba (O Sensei), in 1955, and continued for 15 years until the founder's death in April of 1969. In 1975, Saotome Shihan decided to leave his highly respected position as a senior instructor at Aikido World Headquarters in Tokyo to come to the United States. ASU is affiliated with Aikido World Headquarters - Aikikai Hombu Dojo in Tokyo, Japan.

Our dojo is also affiliated with the International Shinkendo Federation founded by Toshishiro Obata Soke, who acts as head instructor for over 46 Shinkendo dojos around the world.

After many years of study and mastery of many different schools in his native Japan, Obata Sensei came to America to distill all of the different aspects of Japanese Swordsmanship into one complete and comprehensive art. Obata Kaiso has dedicated over thirty years to teaching and researching the almost lost art of true Japanese Swordsmanship as it was practiced by the Samurai of Japan's feudal era.

While Shinkendo requires rigorous physical training, depth of coordination, and intense focus, one of the most important aspects of Shinkendo is the emphasis on spiritual forging, which inspires "Bushi Damashii" (the samurai/ warrior spirit), a quality that we feel is as relevant now as it was hundreds of years ago. Proper practice of Shinkendo should provide one with not only a strong body and mind, but also a calm, clear and focused spirit.

Aikido of Missoula

At Aikido of Missoula a balanced approach is sought in which martial awareness and technical effectiveness serve as the foundation for a vigorous, sensitive exploration of the profound principles of Aiki.

Aikido training opens fresh sources within us of energy and intelligence as well as revealing the obstacles we have accumulated to a sane and centered life. Alignment with the natural flow of Aikido movement brings awareness to the fear and aggression we unconsciously carry, often reflected in distorted posture and unbalanced, inflexible movement. Through openhearted vital training, we approach an enhanced capacity to protect and enjoy ourselves and our surroundings.

A full schedule of classes is available six days a week, including beginning, intermediate and advanced classes. Weapons training (sword, staff and knife) is integrated with empty hand training at all levels beyond beginning classes. Meditation and Aikido classes explore consciousness in movement and stillness.

California Aikido Association

History of the CAA

The Aikido of Northern California Yudansha Kai was organized in 1974 by black belt holders dedicated to the task of exploring the path shown by Master Ueshiba, and to teaching Aikido philosophy and techniques to all those who wished to follow. In 1980, the name of the Yudansha Kai was changed to Aikido Association of Northern California (AANC) to take into consideration the many people represented by the association who are not black belt holders. By 2001 the AANC had evolved into 3 divisions and had grown to over 100 member dojos. The California Aikido Association (CAA) was formed in 2002, from a majority of the AANC membership, based upon the principle of training together in friendship with a minimum of formal organizational structure. The CAA is affiliated with Hombu Dojo, Aikido Headquarters, in Tokyo, Japan.

The CAA Today

The CAA has grown into a worldwide community and is fortunate to have within its membership many teachers with varied backgrounds and complementary skills. Thus the CAA embraces many stylistic and technical traditions but is guided by the physical and philosophical ideals established by the founder, Morihei Ueshiba. It is this very open-ness and diversity that uniquely defines the CAA not so much as an organization but as an 'Association' of teachers, dojos, and aikidoka whose primary common bond is the art we practice. This loose association also means that the CAA does not mandate, enforce, govern, oversee, direct, sanction, or otherwise control the specific operations and events within its member dojos. Each dojo and each member is solely responsible for their own actions.

Capital Aikido Federation

The Capital Aikido Federation is an independent association of aikido dojo. Our home dojo is Capital Aikikai, just outside of Washington, DC. Our technical director and founder is Clyde Takeguchi Shihan. CAF ranks are recognized by Aikikai Hombu Dojo and the International Aikido Federation.

The Jiyushinkai is an independent group with roots in the teaching methods of: Kano, Mifune, Ueshiba, Tomiki, Ohba, Nishioka, and Miyake senseis. The senior students of the Jiyushinkai are motivated to teach the less experienced how to "stand on their teachers' shoulders" as the saying goes. We all have much to learn from each other.

Aikido as practiced in the Jiyushinkai (freedom of heart / mind / spirit organization) stresses systematic explanation and understanding of principle along with the practice of ki hon dosa (basic principles) in sotai seiteigata renshu (prearranged standardized forms practiced by two people) and then the application of these basics in randori (free practice).

Kokikai International Aikido

Kokikai Aikido is a martial art, concerned with effective self-defense technique and realization of our full potential power in all the activities of daily life. Even as we develop powerful Kokikai technique we strive to increase the strength of both body and mind, discover Kokikai Ki Power through mind-body coordination, and stimulate good health. In this way we create a secure foundation for a strong and successful life. We discover our whole human ability, our full potential power, through self-mastery. (From the Kokikai site.)

Makoto Aikido Kyokai

It has always been our intention to train in Aikido in it's purest, intended fashion. Today there are many, many "ways" of Aikido, each practicing their own interpretation of what O'Sensei meant. At the Makoto Aikido Kyokai, we are dedicated to the principle that there is only one Aikido - only that which the founder taught. It is true that there is so much to this wonderful way that it is easy to place emphasis on a certain subset of techniques or methodologies, but when the life of O'Sensei is probed to the depths of his resolve, it becomes apparent that it is the foundational set of principles which makes Aikido not a martial art, but rather a way of life. Aikido can be applicable to all aspects of life, not just the dojo mat. We are dedicated to incorporating Aikido in its purest sense both on the mat and in our daily lives as well.

Midwest Aikido Federation

Agatsu "self victory". According to Morihei Ueshiba, the founder of Aikido, is true victory ... "the victory one achieves over oneself"...

The students and the instructors grow together at Seidokan Aikido dojos. The students learn the fundamentals from the instructors and the instructors gain deeper understanding of Aikido while sharing their knowledge with the students. Through earnest, realistic and sincere training, the students of Seidokan Aikido will learn the true meaning of Aikido.

Takemusu Aikido Association

The Takemusu Aikido Association is dedicated to the development and dissemination of Aikido based on the highest ideals of the Founder, Morihei Ueshiba, O-Sensei.

The Takemusu Aikido Association is an association of dojos, clubs, and individuals who have a common interest in Aikido. It functions for the mutual benefit of its members, serves as a center of support to its members, and promotes Aikido nationally and internationally. The Association is managed by a Board of Directors of Senior Instructors. Board members take turns volunteering to fill the administrative roles of President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

The Association is recognized as a qualified Aikido organization by the Aikikai Foundation, the Hombu, in Tokyo, Japan. It seeks to work cooperatively with other Aikido organizations nationally and internationally. This recognition enables the Association to obtain from the Aikikai Foundation internationally registered and recognized ranks for qualified students of its members.

The Association follows the teaching and training philosophy of Morihiro Saito, Shihan. Saito Shihan's method of training and teaching has greatly influenced the senior members of the Association. We have all trained for various lengths of time with him and feel his training methods, style of Aikido, and long personal association with the Founder have significant value to our own progress in Aikido. We have found that this view has strengthened our relationships with each other and gives us a common purpose.

Tenshinkai Aikido Federation

The International Tenshinkai Aikido Federation originated from Vietnam, and recognized by the Aikido World Headquarters in Japan. The name Tenshinkai was given by O'Sensei Morihei Ueshiba in 1968. Ten means Heaven, Shin means Heart, and Kai means Organization. Putting them together gives Tenshinkai the meaning of the Organization of Heavenly Hearts.

Sensei Dang Thong Phong is the President of the Federation and the head instructor at the dojo. Sensei Phong has over 50 years of experience in martial arts. He holds a 6th degree black belt in Aikido, 5th degree black belt in Judo and 6th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do. Sensei Phong also holds an 8th degree black belt in Han Bai Duong Vietnamese Shaolin Kungfu and is the 3rd generation Grandmaster of this art.

United States Aikido Federation

The main aims of the USAF are to develop and guide the practice and instruction of Aikido as established by Hombu, to promote and develop good will, fellowship and lines of communication among its members, to standardize gradings, to register dan (senior level) grades with Hombu, and to establish and maintain close contact with the Shihan (master teachers) officially dispatched as representatives by Hombu.

Five Rings Aikido

Five Rings Aikido was founded by Jim Clark Sensei in November of 2009. Our style is from our Seidokan history but we are an independent dojo. The philosophy of our dojo is to train in traditional Aikido while always having in mind real self defense. Above all, our Aikido must be effective and have martial integrity. At the same time, the goal of developing our martial skill is so that we have the ability to choose between peace and physical conflict. Without the martial skill, all one can do is hope for a peaceful outcome, or become a victim. As one builds skill in budo, one begins to see the ease with which harm can be done, and the wisdom in seeking the most peaceful outcome in all encounters.

Five Rings Aikido is located in Tempe, Arizona.
